GETTING AWAKE.
Effects of the New Railroad
Southward.

SOutnWafd.
For time the foot-hill country be-.
tween Pasadena and Pomona had the
call on all other portions of South Cali
fornia. One of the reasons for this was
the inception of the San Gabriel Valley
Railway, afterward merged with the
great Santa Fe system. This same
course is now producing like effect on
the section of country between Los An
geles and Santa Ana.
The excursion to Orange last week was
a notable success in all respects, and the
sales OF lots were eminently satisfactory
to those interested.
The next excursion planned should be
in the direction of Tustin City. Has
the reader of these remarks ever been
at Tussin City? If not, why not? And
il not be sure to embrace any oppor-
tunity to go. 1t would be wonder If
a real estate excursion should be pro-
iected for this novel paradise. Tustin
City courts boom less than
any other party of the county. Nearly
all those who live there went to the
place to make a home. With this OBJ
iect in view, the people of that romantic
and delightful spot have lavished
adornment ON their places, until one
imagines, as he rides through its streets,
that il is paradise regained. Some of
the people who own plats of twenty,
thirty or more acres are willing to let
go of part, as five to ten acres are
found ample to support a family. Now
and then an improved place is sold
there at $500 an acre. Two or three
such sales were made last week.
On the way to Tustin the tourist
takes in Santa Ana, and he will be sur
prised in no small degree to see the
large number of most substantial brick
blocks going up there at the moment.
They are decidedly metropolitan in
plan and execution. But be careful
here and at Tustin that you do
not lose your way amidst the
endless labyrinth of pretty homes en-
powered in the shrubs and flowers, and
surrounded by orchards and vineyards.
On the oath inst, there will be an ex-
eursion to the country below Downey
City and Artesia, Gordon Grove and
Westminster are quite similar in their
main features and characteristics. Those
who have never seen this section will
make great mistake if they do not 60
now. For permanent meadows and
pastures, hog growing, stock'raising and
similar pursuits, no country on the
globe half equals this. For deciduous
fruit growing and vineyards it is also
most excellently adapted.

is. also belongs to Mr.. Langenberger,
and was erected by him way back in
1874. 1t is two-stories and of brick.
The new addition is in the same style of
structure. The Books Brothers are
making good progress with their store
on Los Angeles street, jast in the rear
of the Planters Hotel.
The HERALD correspondent visited
the town of st. james, near Burrull
Point, last week, and found one house
well advanced in construction.
The Ameige Brothers, who are local
agents for Fullerton, say there will be
good deal of stir in this new town
within the next ten days. Fullerton,
as readers of the HERALD know, is
really North Anaheim, and is about
mile from the depot site and the last
named town. Several fine residences
will be begun there within few days,
and Fullerton will soon be one of the
liveliest new cities on the plains.
The varied attractions of the lower
end of the county are but getting to be
well known, and as they become un-
derstood the boom in that quarter will
swell to large proportions. The coming
fall and winter will see big develop.

merit is the substratum on which the
prosperity of that section rests.
